We thus assessed whether this explains differences among octopods from polar, temperate, subtropical or tropical climates and in particular the functional adaptations observed in cold-adapted Antarctic octopods [ 16].
These authors have specified that repeated and regular enhancements of the activation level induce structural and functional adaptations of this cerebral network thereby facilitating cognitive functioning.
Direct evidence for the evolution of these traits as functional adaptations to Allee effects is limited, but we can infer an adaptive evolutionary origin of these traits from studies of sexual selection (Courchamp et al. 2008; Gascoigne et al. 2009).
While the goal of this study was to examine the association between preoperative function and postoperative implant longevity, it is important to realize the functional adaptations that are provided by the implant post-surgically.
The functional adaptations within the GH18 family highlight the challenges of assigning protein functions based solely on sequence similarities.
The differences in the shapes of teeth are functional adaptations.
The nephrons also show functional adaptations, dramatically increasing their filtration and reabsorption rates [44, 45].
Yet, these fluctuations have a constant regime for which certain functional adaptations exist.
These results suggest the following functional adaptations in the cruiser Scomber.
This review focuses on provascular approaches that exploit functional adaptations of mature vessels to the tumor microenvironment to sensitize tumors to radio- and chemotherapy.
As brain cortical activity depends on cadence, exercise at different pedaling frequencies could provide efficient stimuli for functional adaptations of the brain.
